“It’s a time when everybody has to be the best version of themselves and the strongest version of themselves.”
He further revealed he made his new album during the lockdown.
Speaking about his hit single, Wonderful, Burna had this to say: “But that wasn’t really the inspiration behind the song. I’d been on tour for the past three years nonstop, so this pandemic was like a blessing and a curse, ’cause I got to spend more time with my family and myself than I have in years. So that’s where ‘Wonderful’ comes from. I recorded it at the beginning of the pandemic, when I first got home … not really knowing the full extent of how long [it would be].”
Burna Boy whose collaboration with Sam Smith on the single, My Oasis, earned him praises from many music lovers, revealed he has always been a fan of the British singer.
“He hit me up to do the song, and I said yes. It was a no-brainer,” he said.
Barely an hour after its release, Twice As Tall has gotten over 5 million views,quite an impressive feat even for Oluwa Boy!
